The Montgomery Judicial Circuit.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
CRAwFoRDsvILLE, Feb. 5.-Much feeling is
being manifested here in opposition to Senator
Bailey's bill to attach Hendricks county to Mont
gomery county for judicial purposes. The bar
held a meeting this morning at the courthouse,
Hon. P. S. Kennedy presiding. and passed ener-
getic resolutions denouncing such change.
Forty weeks court in a year is now barely suf
fcient to dispose of the business of the Mont
gomery court. and with all the well-known en-
ergy and business qualities of Judge e. c. Sny-
der. the docket is yet four months behind. Now,
as the bar of Hendricks county is equally OPP
uosed to the bill. there is no valid reason why
such a measure should be further pushed
Everybody seems to be opposing and no person
fovoring the bill Senator Mitchell, of Fountain
and Warren counties, was present at the meet
ing The following are the resolutions adopted,
having been prepared by Judge r. n Davidson,
w. w. Thornton and j. M. Seller; in politics two
Democrats and one Republican:
Whereas. In 1873 the counties of Montgomery and
Parke constituted the Twenty second judicial
weeks OF court IN each year. and said counties SO con-
stituted said circuit until 1888, at which time the
business the docket of the Montgomery Circuit
Court fifteen months behind-to such
extent that the Legislature in 1880, found it
sary to constitute Montgomery county separate
circuit the Twenty second giving said circuit forty
weeks of court ali of which time for two years has
been fully occupied and at the present time
cannot be tried in sad court until the second term
Whereas There is now a bill pending in the present
Legislature to attach Hendricks county to said
Twenty second circuit and thereby reduce the
Der of weeks in which court be held in Montgom-
cry county to at least twenty weeks, to the great
detriment and injury of itgants in said county and
Whereas There is direct railroad communities
ton between the countyseats of Hendricks and Mont
gornery counties they being by rail sxty-hye miles
Whereas The people of both counties are opposed
to said bill and said proposed change; therefore, be it
Resolved That we are opposed to said bill and to
any change being made in said Twertysecond circuit
and earnestly recommend and request Senators
and Representatives to oppose its passage and all
all Senators and Representatives, of this present
General Assembly to not pass said bill nor change the
present status of said judicial circuit.
